    October 12, 2023 - Great red blend. Decanted for about an hour. Good nose, smooth tannins, nice finish.

    July 14, 2022 - Still going strong. This could age another 5-8 years I feel. Great weeknight drinker though when you want to save your fancy bottles for the weekend.

    May 6, 2021 - One hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Black cherry, pomegranate, and vanilla cream cheese on the rich nose. Dry, velvety palate, with great acidity. Full tannins on the longish finish. This is drinking in prime time now.

    March 15, 2021 - Two hour decant. Very deep ruby magenta color. Wild strawberry, blackberry, ginger, peony, orange rind, and subtle baking spice on the aromatic, fruit forward nose. Smooth, dry palate, with zesty acidity. Full tannins on the longish finish.

    This is a terrific drinker. It’s surprisingly complex for the price point.

    February 28, 2021 - Two hour decant. Deep dark magenta color. Black cherry compote, peony, baking spice, marshmallow, and subtle caramel on the nose. Super smooth palate, with fine acidity. Firm, full, medium intensity tannins on the longish finish. Very easy drinker. 52% CS, 30% Merlot, 11% Malbec, and 7% CF
